Progressive extreme metal act, IN VAIN, are gearing up for a musical revelation with the release of their second single, “At the Going Down of the Sun.” The track serves as a thrilling precursor to their forthcoming album, “Solemn,” set to unleash this year.

About the upcoming track songwriter Johnar Haaland states, “Get ready for a headbanging juggernaut with a colossal outro that simply slays! Guaranteed to make heads spin live.” Bassist Alexander adds, “It’s a big, majestic piece that sets a dark mood, making it the kind of song that compels you to nod your head along.”

Lead vocalist Sindre describes the track as “a crushing mammoth of a track, filled with bone-shattering riffs, catchy vocals, and a tasteful string section. A headbanger for sure.”

I Thought You’d Take My Hand is the second single from The Wound (January 30th 2024, Sliptrick Records), second full-length album from Spanish post hardcore band The Distance.

Musically, I Thought You’d Take My Hand stands out for its melody and rawness, which combines perfectly with the emotionality of its lyrics that evoke a journey of loss and search for shelter in relationships that are no longer there. We also see this rawness in the self-edited video that accompanies the single.

Available now at: Apple Music | Spotify | & other major stores

The Distance is: Yamil Ghazi – Vocals/Guitar | Óscar D. Martí – Bass/Back Vocals | Julián Gil – Lead Guitar | Alberto Abad – Drums

THE VICE Celebrate Album Release with ‘Lit de Parade’ Music Video

Swedish Dark Metallers The Vice have unleashed their highly anticipated album “Dead Canary Run” today, available via Noble Demon. This release marks a significant milestone in the band’s history as it is the first time their music will be available on vinyl. 

To commemorate the release of their new record, The Vice has unveiled a gloomy music video for their latest single, “Lit de Parade”. The band comments: 

“‘Lit De Parade’ is a colorful display of the many elements coming together on our new album ‘Dead Canary Run’. From the marching drums, the gloomy yet hopeful choirs, the guitar-driven melodies and eerie interludes, to the piano encapsulating it all. It’s a procession in honour of our craft, at full speed heading towards the nearest concrete wall.“

Stream the album HERE

Building upon the foundations set by their previous work – the band’s unique blend of filthy rock, blackened metal, gothic influences and death-ridden pop – “Dead Canary Run” takes listeners down a deranged path that The Vice has masterfully crafted over the years. With an eclectic mix of genres thriving like never before, the album promises to captivate fans with its raw energy and infectious melodies. While some elements may feel familiar, there are numerous new levels that The Vice has reached with this new offering. Collaborating with an old partner in crime, Joel Öhman, who added his piano skills to a couple of songs, The Vice emerged from studio “Underjord” late last Summer with an album they couldn’t be more proud of. “Dead Canary Run” serves as a testament to the band’s growth since their recent full-length album “White Teeth Rebellion”, showcasing their passion and determination, with their amps cranked up to 11.

“Dead Canary Run” is out now on Noble Demon and available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

“Dead Canary Run” track listing:

  1. Another Future
  2. Tomorrow Will Mend
  3. Grant Me Your Peace
  4. Lit De Parade
  5. Crossing Over
  6. Be Afraid
  7. Welcome The Storm
  8. Exit Lights

The Vice are:
Rickard – Vocals & Guitars
Charlie – Bass
Petter – Drums
Guest appearance by Joel Öhman (Piano)

HOLLER Release Video for First Single ‘Do You Believe’ from Upcoming Debut Album

Former Eldritch’s frontman Terence Holler‘s New hard rock/AOR solo-project HOLLER have released a video for ‘Do You Believe’, first single taken from the debut album ‘Reborn’ to be released on March 22nd via Scarlet Records.

Brooklyn-born singer and songwriter Terence Holler went solo in 2022, leaving the band he co-founded 31 years ago: international acclaimed prog metal titans Eldritch. 

Growing up with a steady diet of Billy Joel, Elton John, Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Monkees, Bay City Rollers, Journey, Boston, Toto, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss and Bon Jovi, these are the main influences he brought in his new project simply called Holler. 

When a man loves a woman, and when the woman loves him too… but they can’t be together: a story you have already heard, but you have never heard this one yet. 

Holler sings about the greatest love of his life (music? Or that special lady?), through thirteen emotional, refined and cool FM rock songs. 

A roller-coaster of feelings and moods that are sometimes contradictory but always damn engaging!

  • Terence Holler proudly wears his heart on his sleeve revealing the classic rock influences of his upbringing
  • artwork by Luca “Zeero” Zironi
  • for fans of Toto, Journey, Boston, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel
  • in springtime 2024 Terence Holler will release ‘Cosa Mia’, a documentary about his life & career directed by Alberto Bogo

HOLLER:
Terence Holler –  lead and backing vocals
Denis Chimenti – guitars, backing vocals
Matteo Chimenti – keyboards and backing vocals
Leonardo Peruzzi – bass and backing vocals
Alex Gasperini – drums

VOLTUMNA Unveil New Single ‘Vanth’, New EP Out Now

VOLTUMNA have released their new EP “For Death Is Fate”. To celebrate their comeback the band also unveils the visualizer for the track “Vanth”.

The band states: “‘Vanth’ is the muse behind ‘For Death Is Fate,’ featured on the EP’s cover. She accompanies the deceased with the Etruscan Charun on their last journey. Her torch illuminates the darkness and points the way into Hades. ‘Vanth’ is definitely the most decisive and extreme track from the EP, a track which perfectly reconciles our death metal roots with the new path taken by the band.“

BUY THE EP HERE: https://voltumna.bandcamp.com/album/for-death-is-fate

The Lazio lineup is led by guitarist, vocalist and sole original member Haruspex, now joined by drummer Augur Veii and singer, bassist, producer and main composer Phersu.
The genre proposed by VOLTUMNA can fall under the current of blackened death metal of the Polish school. A style that, while partly drawing on the sounds of the best Behemoth, over time has been able to enrich itself with the most varied influences, from the Swedish death metal of At The Gates and Dismember to the melodic black metal of Dissection, Satyricon and Dimmu Borgir.

Armed with an ancestral connection to their Etruscan roots, VOLTUMNA‘s concept and music focus on a historical and anthropological reinterpretation of the ancient world followed by a harsh critique of the long and inexorable phase of decay that runs through the modern world.

Below are the first confirmed live dates of VOLTUMNA:
09.02 Rome – Defrag (Release Party)
23.02 Maribor (Slo) – Dvorana Gustav Pekarna
24.02 Bratislava (Sk) – Randal Club
18.05 Schwedt (Ger) – Devil’s Covenant Fest
19.05 – 26.05 – Polish and Baltic Tour
